Narcos season 4: Did Pablo Escobar and Felix Gallardo know each other?

NARCOS season 4 dropped on Netflix last week with fans already binge-watching the entire run over the weekend. Some fans have been asking about the new series and the relationship between drug lords Pablo Escobar and Felix Gallardo.

Season four of Narcos dropped on Netflix on Friday, November 16. All 10 episodes from the new series called Narcos: Mexico were made available to fans to watch. The show shifted the focus to Mexico with the DEA trying to crack down on the war on drugs with Sinaloa kingpin Felix Gallardo (played by Diego Luna) taking centre-stage and agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena (Michael Peña) hot on his tail.

But did the men know each other in real life and did they ever meet? It's not known if the two men actually met in real life but they were operating around the same time in the Eighties which means there could have been a potential crossover.

Given the various exploits that eventually made the headlines, it seems reasonable that both had an awareness of the other at the very least.

The horrific torture and death of DEA agent Camarena sparked a huge war on drugs between the US authorities and the Mexican drugs lords in 1985, which made the news across the world.

In fact, Camarena’s death saw the slain agent make it onto the front of TIME magazine and led to the annual Red Ribbon campaign to raise anti-drugs awareness.

“When we’re sitting there, going through the pages and working on it, it immediately felt special."

Newman has hinted that there could be future crossovers in Narcos with Escobar making another cameo in any following seasons.

Meanwhile, Luna added to the Hindustan Times: “It was nice to work with [Moura] and to see what he generated on set.

“It was really important for all the people I am working with because they’ve worked with him for two years.”

The star continued: “I’ve seen him grow in his career and even though I see him very little, we have a lot of friends in common, and whenever I meet him I feel really pleased because I’m very happy he’s having such a brilliant career.”
